ing urge to assume my feminine role and a strong repugnance to re- veal myself as a TV to this decidedly masculine group. The only feasible solution seemed to be a hasty retreat and return to New York immediately since, by this time, I was no longer feeling phy- sically well.

After discussing my problem with Vicky and Susanna, both of whom were completely understanding but unwilling to influence me either way, I retured to my room to think it all out with as much objectivity and calm as I could muster. When I reached my conclusion it was to toss caution to the winds and enjoy the experience I must certainly have wanted when I left on this trip. I did as careful a make-up job as I was capable of, dressed in a blue pleated skirt with a white blouse and, taking a deep breath, emerged to face the certain ridicule of the hunters. Their reaction was first one of complete nonrecognition until I was introduced by Susanna. At this point I can only recall that their shock was second only to mine. Their dis- belief vanished when I spoke, and I then faced a barrage of quest- ions which I parried as best I could but which seemed to me to be received with disbelief. The immediate shock began to fade and once again I basked in the relaxed character I was learning each time to enjoy more and more. I noted the pleased expressions on Susanna and Vicky's faces (See "Susanna Saya" TVia #14). My initiation in meeting non-TVs as Lee was behind me and served as a prelude to a far more exciting experience.

The highlight of Lee's TV life to date occured on New Year's Eve, 1961. Gail and I received a gracious invitation to attend a party in Pennsylvania and to spend the weekend with Gloria and her lovely wife, Colleen. We arrived at their beautiful home on Friday evening and hastened to transform ourselves into our preferred roles. It was not until the following afternoon that we became aware that what we believed was to be a costume party would not be. It took only a brief consultation between us to decide that we would not have brought our beautiful evening gowns in vain--we were most certainly going to appear as Lee and Gail.

Late the next afternoon I donned a custom-made, full-length clinging black sheath with organza kick-skirt set off by 3-inch pen- dant rhinestone earrings with matching bracelet and necklace, a high- ly theatrical make-up job and a beautiful white fox furpiece gener- ously contributed by Gloria. Gail wore a low-cut, full-skirted long white chiffon-over-taffeta evening gown with blue rhinestone access- ories.
